CMU Sphinx / Forums / Help: Sphinxtrain -training not producing mfc files

Philip - 2014-10-11

Hi,

I'm trying to train an acoustic model by following the tutorial for sphinxtrain.
I'm using the an4 database. When I run sphinx train its giving me the error message "the feature file . . . does not exist, or is empty".

I've searched this forum and looked at in the logdir folder as per the answer to similar questions. However the files in logdir are all empty.

A copy of the database folder can be found on dropbox at this link:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s4bew1mte93s1k0/AACGgzmEVOK7p7syYru4Rcwha?dl=0

Would anyone be able to suggest changes I should try to solve this?

The output I get when I run sphinx train is:

  Since an4 is in sph format, you should have edit etc/sphinx_train.cfg and configure proper extension and file type for wav files as per tutorial:
  
  $CFG_WAVFILE_EXTENSION = 'sph'; $CFG_WAVFILE_TYPE = 'nist'; # one of nist, mswav, raw

    Thank you for the quick response.
    
    I've made the changes you've suggested and re-ran the training, however this hasn't produced the model.
    I've checked the logdir and it still has not information in it.
    
    In the command line it gives me the following error messages:
    ERROR: "acmod.c", line 87: Folder 'C:/Friday/sphinxTutorial/an/an4/model_paramet
    ers/an4.cd_cont_200' does not contain acoustic model definition 'mdef'
    FATAL_ERROR: "batch.c", line 819: PocketSphinx decoder init failed
    word_align.pl failed with error code -1 at C:\Friday\sphinxTutorial\sphinxtrain\
    scripts\decode\slave.pl line 173.
    
    Would you be able to suggest what other changes I need to make?
    
    Thank you in advance.
    
    I've updated the folder in dropbox:

      You can try to build latest sphinxbase, pocketsphinx and sphinxtrain from github
      
      http://github.com/cmusphinx
      
      They should work more reliably.
      
      You can also try prebuilt binaries:
